3. Stop looting. It seems to become a major portion of the game. You fight, loot, buy better gear. But really, all it amounts to is carrying a load of weapons back to town every 1-3 fights. My suggestion would be to reduce the selling price of looted items drastically, then give the player more cash for winning battles. It will add up to the same result, but without forcing the player to travel back to town. This will also allow more items to be available for the player on the loot screen. If selling them is almost pointless, he just takes what he may want to use.
Don't get me wrong. Looting can be fun, in certain situations. Caravans should be looted. In fact, I would love to see more of this type of looting. Caravans shipping extremely valuable items, with very tough guards. Currently, you can make more cash by selling the weapons of the caravan guards than by selling the items the caravan was shipping.
